Smile Brilliant - Review & Giveaway - CLOSED

                                                           I received a free Smile Brilliant LED Whitening system to facilitate this review.

Your smile makes a powerful first impression... it's true. There are tons of tooth whitening strips on the market, problem is most require you to use them a gazillion times before you see any results. What if you could whiten your teeth in a fraction of the time, safely and easily at home? 

Smile Brilliant has changed the game with their LED Teeth Whitening system. It's perfect for people who want "great tooth whitening results but are on a budget." For $39.95 you can have a whiter, brighter smile... in as little as 20-40 minutes!

My daughter was kind enough to test it out!

Listerine 21-Day Challenge - Conclusion

The 21-days are up. Do I see a change? Have I made using Listerine a part of my brushing routine a habit? Will I keep it up?  Yes... Yes... and Yes!

Listerine made a difference that I can feel. By using Listerine twice a day for a brief 30 seconds this is what I've noticed:

1. My teeth feel cleaner longer, even after meals.
2. My morning breath is a whole lot fresher.
3. I smile more - this was a very pleasant side effect of participating in the challenge.

I am really proud of myself (and my entire family). I really didn't expect that this easy, simple, and quick change would have such a huge impact. I already knew that having good dental hygiene was important, but now I know that fresh breath looks and feels like something. It feels good!

After participating in the Listerine 21-day Challenge, here are a few tips that I think will help you step up your dental game:

• Keep it on the counter - the first few days of the challenge were a challenge for me, because I was storing the Listerine in the cabinet. Bad idea. Keeping things in plain sight helps to remind us to do what we're supposed to do.
• Schedule it - if you forget to rinse on occasion, it's okay. Nobody's perfect. Setting an alarm or calendar reminder will help you to remember.  After a while it'll become a habit don't worry. But until it does - wait for the beep!
• Take a closer look - get up close and personal in the mirror. Take a look around, so that you can get familiar with what's really going on in your mouth. This way when something isn't right (swollen gums, bleeding, etc), you'll be able to spot it right away.

It's no wonder that Listerine is offering a money back guarantee (offer valid through 6/30/13), they already know that this products works... for real!

Stop by the Listerine Facebook page and pledge to take the challenge today. Your entire mouth will thank you!

Listerine 21-day Challenge

My mother really instilled the importance of taking good care of my teeth. As a child, I never missed a dental cleaning. As a result, I have not had a cavity since elementary school (applause please...). I have made it my business to pay it forward by teaching my daughter good oral health habits as well.

My dental routine is simple, brush and floss, sometimes I use mouthwash, sometimes I don't. I also visit my dentist once every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. So far, this routine has served me pretty well, but that isn't stopping me from participating in the Listerine 21-day Challenge!

Did you know that even though you may brush regularly, you still miss 75% of your mouth? That's frightening! That means that there is still "stuff" lurking between your teeth, under your tongue, beneath the gum line, and any other place things can hide. This statistic alone is enough to make me want to take my oral care to the next level.

What is the Listerine 21-day Challenge?

In addition to your normal brushing routine, rinse with Listerine twice a day for 30 seconds, for three weeks (21 days).  That's all.

What results should you expect? 

• Up to 5x's healthier gums in two weeks
• Up to 9x's healthier gums in four weeks

That's awesome considering for only one minute per day.  I know you have one minute to spare, right?

 

They're making donations!

 

When you sign up to participate in the 21-day Challenge on Facebook, Listerine will make a donation to Oral Health America to help children in need of dental care.  

 

Wait... there's more

 

If you participate in the challenge and do not feel the difference, Listerine will give you your money back. Offer valid through June 30, 2013.

Will you take the challenge with me? Click here to sign up right now! Be sure to leave me a comment if you decide to participate. Let's rock our incredible smiles together!

Listerine Smart Rinse Review and Giveaway (closed)

After years of working in the insurance industry, I have seen what can happen when people don't take care of their teeth. So many health problems begin in the mouth. I once had a client that had what she thought was a sinus infection, for over 4 months! After countless visits to the doctor and trying nearly every sinus medication on the market, it was discovered that she had an abscess in the rear of her mouth that was causing the problem all along. That's why it's important for us to teach our children the importance of dental hygiene early on. Listerine Smart Rinse can help.

Listerine Smart Rinse is a "post-brush" rinse designed just for kids, providing up to 12 hours of cavity protection. What makes this rinse different from other fluoride rinses you ask? Well for starters it "tints" left over food particles that are often left behind after brushing, so you can actually see it working! And it also helps to strengthen teeth.

Listerine Smart Rinse comes in three great kid-friendly flavors:

• Mint Shield
• Barbie Fab Bubble Gum
• Phineas and Ferb Bubble Blast

We tried the Phineas and Ferb Bubble Blast, which happens to be a really cool shade of blue, and it doesn't taste half bad either. Those leftover food particles can't be missed, you can spot them right away! There is a slight blue tint to your teeth after the rinse, so I found that rinsing with water afterwards is a must. Adding Listerine Smart Rinse is a great addition to daily brushing and flossing.

Dr. Kaneta Lott (Pediatric Dentist and member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry) suggests that you make brushing fun:

• Show and don't tell-  brush your teeth with your children, they love to follow your lead!
• Make it fun -  have a funny-face flossing contest or play "Simon Says."
• Give that kid a prize! - give out stickers and prizes for brushing, flossing, and rinsing.

Since school is back in session, now is a great time to revisit your child's oral care routine. Click here for more kid-friendly tips.
